He screamed and cried and ran away from the therapist, furious about not getting access to the markers. Then, in the midst of his tears and misery, he said it: "Boo" (Blue). Ahh yes, boo. We may be on to something here. MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS: Becoming potty-trained, making friends, beginning to engage in a conversation with follow-up questions, learning to read and spell words and then Googling them to find related videos.From:cardinc1990Views:3 0ratingsTime:04:30More inPeople Blogs
